Resum

On October 15, 2020, the MAGIC telescopes observed GRB 201015A following the Swift-BAT trigger (D'Elia et al., GCN 28632). MAGIC started observations under good conditions about 40 seconds after the initial Swift trigger, revealing a hint of signal with significance >3 sigma in the very high energy band. Refined off-line analyses of the data are ongoing. Further MAGIC observations on GRB 201015A are planned in the coming night. We strongly encourage follow-up observations by other instruments at all wavelengths. The MAGIC point of contact for this burst is O. Blanch ([email protected]). Burst Advocate for this burst is M. Gaug ([email protected]) MAGIC is a system of two 17m-diameter Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located at the Observatory Roque de los Muchachos on the Canary island La Palma, Spain, and designed to perform gamma-ray astronomy in the energy range from 50 GeV to greater than 50 TeV. -- Avís - Aviso - Legal Notice - (LOPD) - http://legal.ifae.es <http://legal.ifae.es/>...
